Research Performance Index (RPI)

The Research Performance Index (RPI) is an initiative run annually to reward researchers for research excellence and scholarship.

The RPI scheme allocates funds based on both performance inputs (external research grants) and outputs (publications, successful postgraduate research supervision etc) in the preceding year.

The RPI is open to Curtin researchers who have made a quantifiable research contribution as part of an existing, or newly formed, RPI Group.
